Answer
The minimum distance between an MV cable (13.8kV) and a fiber optic cable varies depending on the specific regulations and standards in your area.
However, as a general guideline, the National Electric Code (NEC) in the United States requires a minimum distance of 3 feet (0.9 meters) between MV cables and other electrical equipment.
Additionally, fiber optic cables are generally considered low voltage and therefore do not require the same clearance as MV cables.
It is always best to consult with a licensed electrician or the local authorities to ensure compliance with any specific regulations in your area.
